Q.

Hi, i’m a healthy 22yr old female and I only ever brush my teeth once a day, i have a healthy diet, i don’t floss but i use mouth wash and so far the only problem I’ve had with my teeth (aside from braces in my early teens) is 1 filling when i was very young. but today without any see-able reason my gum started bleeding. it happened very suddenly when i was in work and there was no apparent reason for it. is this a symptom of gum disease?

I’m pregnant and my babies heart rate has been very fast, my gums have started bleeding is this to do with the baby?

July 16th, 2012
Q.

Okay I definitely need some advice! I’m a 28 year old female and I’m pregnant with my second child. I have been going to the hospital recently because the babies heartbeat has been very fast. I have been quite stressed recently and I’ve noticed my gums being sore and bleeding. I was wondering if this has anything to do with the babies heart rate or stress related? I’m worried but i didn’t want to bug a dentist so if you could answer my question that would be very kind. Thank you.

My gums bleed when I brush them could there be an underlying issue?

June 12th, 2012
Q.

Hello Doctor, I was wondering if you could help me with a problem to do with my gums. I went travelling to Australia about three years ago, while I was there, unfortunately I didn’t stick to a very good oral hygiene regime for the year I was there. I don’t have any fillings or rotten teeth, but I have noticed that when I brush my teeth, sometimes my gums bleed. I don’t brush especially hard and use a medium brush. I also use a sensitive mouthwash. Could this just be down to me brushing, or another underlying issue? Any feedback would be much appreciated, Thanks!

I have smoked for two years and think I have gum disease, what should I do?

June 12th, 2012
Q.

I think I may have gum disease as my gums bleed after brushing and the gum between my bottom fang and molar seems to have a split in it. I brush twice a day and regularly floss and use mouthwash however I have smoked for two years. I haven’t really suffered with dental problems apart from having a brace in my teens. What should I do? I’m quite apprehensive about going the dentist plus I don’t have the funds right now. Thanks!

May 18th, 2012
Q.

Hi Dr Dunn, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes around 1 year ago which was a big shock. I have heard a few times that gum disease and diabetes are linked somehow? Do you know anything about this?

I have part dentures but my remaining teeth have started to bleed, I clean 4 times a day and can’t afford expensive treatment, what should i do?

May 18th, 2012
Q.

Hello Dr, I have part dentures and i hoped to hang on to my remaining teeth but i have bleeding on my eye tooth, is this the end?  I clean 4 times a day and use mouthwash. I am mid sixties and cant afford very expensive treatment .I noticed the last time i went to my dentist to have the front tooth removed he didnt suggest cleaning. I did not like to ask as i went national health. I used to go private with the same dentist but my circumstances changed after 2 berievments and suddenly not working. Any advice would be great.

My gums bleed at any given time, in the day and at night. I’ve also found brown spots in my mouth. I have regular dental appointments. I am constantly using mouthwash, could this be the problem?

April 19th, 2012
Q.

Hi there, I have a problem and I hope you can help – My gums bleed at any given time, even when I am just sitting at my desk. When i wake up in the morning, my mouth is brown because my gums have bled through the night. I have regular dental and hygiene appointments.I have now found a brown spot on my tongue and my cheek at the other side? can you please help? i am constantly using mouthwash and was wondering if this is the cause of the brown spots? could that possibly be burning my mouth with the chemicals? Now i have gone on to using mouthwashes without alchohol in them. Thanks
